Description

This document presents ecologically based, reference-age invariant polymorphic height growth and site index models for major Alberta tree species. The models were developed using tree sectioning data from dominant and codominant trees. They can be used to predict the following: 1. Tree height from site index and breast height age, 2. site index from tree height and breast height age, 3. years needed for a tree to grow to a specified height, 4. height growth intercept. Since the models were fitted for the province as a whole and for groups of newly classified Natural Regions of Alberta, they can also be used to examine the regional differences of the height growth pattern. Relationships among breast height age, stump age and total age were also established so that compatible height growth and site index predictions can be made from any type of tree age. Tables and computer programs for predicting height growth and site index were prepared, along with a brief description of how to use...

Description

The 10-year Irrigation District Water Quality Project was conducted to assess the quality of irrigation water in Alberta’s irrigation districts. This fact sheet is part of a series of reports based on data collected during the project, and focuses on the susceptibility of Alberta’s irrigation water to invasive mussels. It outlines the threat of freshwater invasive mussels to Alberta’s aquatic environment and irrigation industry, and what aspects of Alberta’s irrigation water quality make it susceptible to the growth and survival of invasive mussels.

Description

Research has shown that in Alberta, the amount of phosphorus in streams increases with agricultural intensity in watersheds. The goal of the Alberta Phosphorus Watershed Project was to determine if wide-spread adoption of environmental beneficial management practices would improve water quality at the watershed scale, as well as to develop the Alberta Phosphorus Management Tool. This report supplements the previously published 2013–2017 Alberta Phosphorus Watershed Project progress report by summarizing the results and progress of the Alberta Phosphorus Watershed Project from 2018–2020.

Description

Derived Ecosite Phase (DEP) is a digital and spatial representation of ecological sites and phases in those areas of Alberta where both Alberta Vegetation Inventory (AVI) and lidar are available. AVIE and a lidar-derived slope position were created by Agriculture and Forestry. Rules used to classify the data were developed by Environment and Parks. DEP v2.0 includes updated AVI, new lidar and an Alberta Wetlands Classification System field.

Description

Gillett's Checkerspot is a colourful and distinctive butterfly that has a very small global range and a global conservation status rank of imperiled/vulnerable. The species is relatively well known with respect to its biology and ecology. Available information is summarized in this report and differences between USA and Alberta populations are discussed. The ecology of the species renders it amenable to integration with economic activity. It can be accommodated without significant expense or impact on other natural resource uses. In some cases, forest canopy removal associated with development can be a positive factor for the species but in the past this has been an accidental byproduct of such activity. Brief strategic and operations guidelines are recommended.
